Alice Feeney, author of "Daisy Darker" and "Rock Paper Scissors," continues to keep readers on their toes with "Good Bad Girl," a psychological thriller brimming with complex mother-daughter dynamics. Two decades ago, a woman went shopping with her baby in a stroller, but at one point, she turned around to find her daughter was missing. In the same year, a woman was murdered at a care home. Today, Edith is at a nursing home, but she has plans of getting out. Her daughter Clio might not be speaking to her, but how could she after her breach of trust? Trust seems to be hard to come by as Edith's aid, Patience, seems delightful but hasn't told Edith the truth once since she's been working there. Feeney dives into the inner lives of the three women to reveal harrowing and heartbreaking secrets that all tie back to the missing baby and the death in the care home with skillful deception that will shock readers till the end.
